Snapshot agent showing red mark in replication monitor!!!(Merge replication)

few days before snapshot agent showing red mark in replication monitor without any changes...
synchronizing from publisher to subscribe working fine...
and how to clean up snapshot agent job history...
plz give me a solution...
Thanks in advance.......

error:
The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 5 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher, and Distributor
are still active.
snapshot agent showing red mark...
Hi Baraiya Kirit,
According to the error message, the issue could be caused by that the agent is busy or the agent cannot log in to one of the computers in the topology.
To troubleshoot this issue, please perform the following steps. For more details, please review this article:
MSSQL_ENG020554.
• If the agent has stopped, please restart it and check if the error still occurs.
• If this error is raised frequently because the agent is busy:
You might need to redesign your application so that the agent spends less time processing.
You can increase the interval at which agent status is checked using the Job Properties dialog box.
• If an agent cannot log in to one of the computers in the topology:
We recommend that the -LoginTimeOut value be set lower than the interval at which the replication agent checkup job runs.
There is also a similar blog for your reference.

Showing Red flag in Message Monitor

Hi All,
I am getting red flags in Message Monitor while send from SAP through RFC.
If i click the flag, showing message "Column status could not process - Transaction Execution Terminated Upon Request"
previously its worked properly. In last process we have send at a time 150 message to message listener, in that it has processed 100 messages successful and rest of them show in red flag.
After that even i send single message also, its getting red flag.
And how can we reprocess those messages
Can anyone please let me know how to solve it.
Thanks,
Kind Regards,

Hi ,
I have found that error where it has been terminating.
I have kept condition action block below the sql insert query in my transaction as i am calling from Message process rule.
Under condition action block, i have kept leftside SAP jco and rightside stop action block
If the query successful execute it will trigger SAP jco, if not it will trigger stop transaction(i.e. In stop configure. link, mapped sql query success to TerminationMessage)
The issues is,
if i send 150 messages, its inserting all records in DB but in the transaction it triggering 100 messages to SAP Jco through condition after that its triggering stop action block. I don't no why its happen.
In condition i have kept
confg. object as 1 and radio button with or
Confg link as sql query success with input1 propertie
Any idea regarding this, why its triggering after sometimes even its successful executed.
Thanks,
Kind Regards,

Steps by Step document for configuration Merge Replication in 2005

Hi ,
Can anyone provide link to configure Merge Replication in 2005 with print screen.Also let me know the difference between Transcation level and Merge Replication.
regards
Vijay

Here you have one tutorial:
http://www.sqlshack.com/sql-server-replications/
Use merge replication if you want to reflect changes from the subscriber to the publisher or viceversa.
Use transactional replication if you want changes from the publisher to the subscriber.
You can use transactional databases with Oracle databases.

How do you drop a publication that is gone from SSMS but shows up in replication monitor? Here's what I've tried...

Hello,
I had two test databases on one server that I had been experimenting with for transactional replication. I wanted to delete the publication from one database and the subscription from the other and finally delete both databases. I deleted
the publication, the subscription , the jobs related to them and finally the databases. I must confess that i wasn't as careful as I would be if I hadn't planned on just deleting everything. So what I have now is nothing appearing in SSMS under
local publications or local subscriptions for these two test databases (but pubs and subs for other useful things) but in replication monitor the publication shows up with a red x.
I cannot use sp_droppublication @publication='my pub name' because the publication database is gone. Can I do anything to remove this publication from replication monitor? This isn't a production server yet it has some users who would be
severely inconvenienced if I have to drop all replication and rebuild. Is there any other way?
Thanks.

Hi, I had a similar case, apply the EXEC sp_removedbreplication, but in the replication monitor even the replication was visualized with a red x, which caused me a false alarm.
The records MSreplication_monitordata table can not be deleted manually, it is only a guide for the monitor replication, because that's what I understood also try removing your records, but had no success.
Reaches a point where I thought I had to recreate all replications, but I found a solution.
Guide me in that table (MSreplication_monitordata), to search for agents publisher that had not been removed (eg DB: SDCGHJ), then search these agents and items in the tables: MSdistribution_agents, MSsnapshot_agents, MSlogreader_agents; located in the distribution
database and delete records that made reference to publisher_db SDCGHJ, delete jobs that they made reference to the publication eliminated.
With these steps the publication is no longer displayed on the monitor replication and "red x" stop appearing.
I hope it is of your utility.

Invalid rowid error while running the snapshot agent in transactional replication

Hi All,
I am getting an Invalid rowid error while replicating an large tables i.e around 30 millions rows from oracle(publisher) to sql server(Subscriber) while running the snapshot agent in transactional replication.
Its taking around 18 hours and its then its throwing this error.
Is there any faster way that i can replicate the initial snapshot this large table as 18 hours is very high on time.
Kindly suggest.i am always got quick and accurate response always..hope the same in this case also.
Thanks,

Hi,
Could you please create a replication with some small tables for a test?
You can disable the firewall on both sides and rerun snapshot. Enable verbose logging to level 4 for snapshot agent and check the results if it fails.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312292
Here is a document says for the error: ORA-10632: Invalid rowid Cause: Segment Highwatermark was overwritten due to shrink and space reused Action: Reissue this command.
I also suggest you contact the Oracle support team for further help.
Thanks.

Monitor issue - PC completed but monitor shows red

We have implemented Support Pack. For one of the data load - Process chain has completed and data loaded to cube but process chain log still shows red. Please help.
Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi,
If you feel that this issue is happened due to support pack implementation then all of your process chains available in system should have monitor status as RED.
But if you are facing issue with particular load then check the process log and job log in SM37. There might be some issues in current load, try to repeate the load and see how it works?

Merge replication and Snapshot replication monitoring

Hi All,
I have mere publication with 56 subscriptions. I need to monitor their synchronization status twice in a day.
I want to do it using TSQL. Like i will create a table for that and i will schedule a job, which inserts the replication status records and Using SSRS i will to create a report for replication monitoring.
Can anybody help me on this.

Hi Kushi N,
We can monitor replication programmatically using T-SQL or RMO. Please see
Programmatically Monitor Replication for information on monitoring replication programmatically. From here you can do custom alerting. Also, keep in mind that replication
comes with predefined alerts which can be configured to response to various replication events. This is covered in
Use Alerts for Replication Agent Events and
Configure Predefined Replication Alerts (SQL Server Management Studio).

Infopackage monitor shows red in details tab but green every where else

I deleted all the contents of my cube. Then I did an init load from ODS to Cube. The load shows as completed successfully (green) in both the cube (manage) and monitor header and status. But the monitor details screen shows a red in overall status. The error message it shows there is
Databasis (requests): errors occured
Has any one experienced this? I can see the records in the cube for that request, so the data is there.
There is another DSO loading this cube. The first ODS is 3.5 and the 2nd is 7.0 and uses a DTP. Do you think this has any thing to do with it?

Hello Uday,
it happenes because when the data loads happens it will check for all the request which was present in the source and you will see the list of all the request in databasis request.
I would suggest go to the request which is showing red in the list of data basis request and check that request in RSRQ or in the source and see why it has failed...if its not required to correct then you can turn the overall status to green of the loaded request and use it for reporting and it will not be an issue.
Thanks

Novell client still show red "N", does ZCM Agent work ?

Hi
my customer has some workstation login slow.
User type his username & password and summit it, Novell client show red "N" about 4 ~7 mins...when red "N" disappear, it will login to desktop about 15-20 seconds...
I want to ask...when red "N" icon still show...Whether the Novell client still try to connect to server or not ? and that time, if ZCM Agent (CASA module) still waiting capture username/password or it has capture these infromation to CASA server ??
Because I want to clear if workstation login slow by ZCM agent .
wyldkao

Hi Shaun
Thanks For your great reply.
I find a troubleshooting section in ZCM installation Guide , about "Unable to install NetIdentity from Novell Client 32 on a device that has ZENworks installed", the section was be record from 10.1 to 11.1. The Netidentity has a Install-Check action for checking Whether Local_Machine\Software\zenworks exist or not....but ZCM 10.3 or later use Local_Machine\Software\ZCM, not useing "zenworks", so Netidentity could install evenif ZCM agent installed.
I know ZDM agent has some issue with Netidenty...but I do know why ZCM installation still record it....even ZCM11.1 installation Guide. Could you help me clear whether Netidentity agent will effect ZCM Agent or not ?? Because I could not find any document that could provide any message it will effect "ZCM" function
thanks!!

When I click on BPE, the message at bottom of screen (in Yellow Status) indicates " Schedule background job for clearing report". Please let me know if any one has the solution with details.
I gone thru the link in SDN, but no resolution yet.

thanks, Srini

Hi Mark, All the nodes are green under "Maintain Runtime Environment" and "Maintain Definition Environment".
In RWB, component monitoring --> Display -- Business process engine is RED with message as

SQL Server 2014 Snapshot agent duplicating constraints

Hello,
We are upgrading our server from SQL Server 2008 R2 Std. Ed. to SQL Server 2014 Std. Ed.
Our server works with Merge and Transactional publications.
Our current problem happens when trying to generate the first snapshot using the snapshot agent. Since this is the first time, the snapshot will create all the system tables related with replication and the error happens when creating the table MSmerge_conflict_<publication>_<article>
because now the snapshot agent is trying to create the constraints from the <article> (a table in our case) with the same name, so it brings the conflict of having duplicated constraints names and because of that the snapshot agent fails.
This didn't happen on 2008 because the snapshot agent didn't try to create the constraints before.
This is the error that we see on the Snapshot Agent Status: There is already an object named"NewAccountPermission" in the database. Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.
The exact T-sql statement that is failing is shown on the replication monitor:
Error messages:
Message: There is already an object named 'NewAccountPermission' in the database.
Could not create constraint or index. See previous errors.
Command Text: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MSmerge_conflict_Roster_AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [NewAccountPermission] DEFAULT ([dbo].[getNewAccountPermissionID]()),
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL
Digging a bit further I searched and compared the snapshot files that creates this table. Here it can be seen that the snapshot files only differ on the creation or not of the constraint.
Here is an extract o f the 2014 file called AccountPermissions_3.cft
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MSmerge_conflict_Roster_AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [NewAccountPermission] DEFAULT ([dbo].[getNewAccountPermissionID]()),
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL
Here is the 2008 version of the same file:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MSmerge_conflict_Roster_AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL,
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL
Any ideas on what is going on? Do I have to configure some properties on the publication now to disallow creating the constraints on the msmerge_conflict table?
Thank you,
Alejandro Rivera

Hi Hilary,
1) There is an user table called dbo.AccountPermissions. The problem happens when the snapshot agent tries to create MSmerge_conflicts_Roster_AccountPermissions (system table). The database is called Roster.
2) We use the default dbo schema. Here is the create script for that table (just in case):
USE [Roster]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[AccountPermissions] Script Date: 11/17/2014 7:48:27 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AccountPermissions](
[AccountPermissionID] [int] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [NewAccountPermission] DEFAULT ([dbo].[getNewAccountPermissionID]()),
[PermissionName] [varchar](255) NULL,
[Description] [varchar](255) NULL,
[rowguid] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [MSmerge_df_rowguid_13B9434FF11A44ACB63F5D2927C053FD] DEFAULT (newsequentialid()),
CONSTRAINT [pk_accountpermissions] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
[AccountPermissionID] ASC
)WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
SET ANSI_PADDING OFF
GO
I'd put a screenshot too, but sadly the forum doesn't allow me until it verifies my account.
Let me know if you any more info.
Thank you,

Why PSA data show red status when opened but green on PSA page?

Run RSA1 -> click PSA to open PSA page, locate one infosource and find the PSA under it, find the status column shows it's green, but when opening it, find the 1st column shows red for each row. How does the inconsitance occur?
BTW, if we open the infopackage monitor for the above one, find a weird thing is that each request get two consecutive processes running with a circle of red ball and green ball in the left frame. Double click one of them, in the right frame and click the monitor Status tab, the msg window is as following (in between two dashed lines below):
Incorrect data records - error requests (total status GREEN)
Diagnosis
Data records were recognized as incorrect.
System response
The valid records were updated in the data target and can be used in reporting.
The incorrect records were not written to the data target, but were posted retractively under a new request number in the PSA.
Procedure
Check the data in the error requests, correct the errors, and post the error requests.
Sounds like the data failed to uploaded to data target due to error in PSA, but why the status show green in somewhere? And if clicking the Details tab, all show green! Weird!
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
In your InfoPackage Update tab, click the Error Handling button. It seems that the Valid records update, request green option is chosen. This is why you see the green request and some error records.
This means that the corect reocrds were loaded and are available for reporting, but the incorrect ones were left behind. This is used to check the erro records separatelt so that they do not disrupt the entire data load.
Hope this helps...

MaxBcpThread default for Snapshot agent in SQL2012 does not appear to be 1

When I run the Vanilla Snapshot agent that was created with the publication I get multiple parallel threads in 2012. I did not get this when we ran R2 even though I was running concurrent. This was the best method to avoid blocking on our
production DB even though the Snapshot did take a lot longer to prepare. Avoiding blocking is important in our case.
So today in 2012, I had to add a MaxBcpThreads 1 to the params of the Snapshot agent job to get it back down to 1 BCP thread.
Anyone else found this problem? Or is it something else I'm missing
Thanks
...Ray

Hi RayG,
The MaxBcpThreads property of the Snapshot Agent specifies the number of bulk copy operations that can be performed in parallel. By increasing this value, bulk copy operations can run faster, because they will be perform in parallel. However, if set this
property too high, it can results in some performance degradation, because SQL Server will have to spend extra time managing the extra threads. Usually MaxBcpThreads must have a value greater than 0 , and the default is 2 times the number of processors , up
to a maximum value of 8 which is calculated internally.
For improving snapshot delivery process by changing MaxBcpThreads, you can review the following articles.

SCCM 2012 Database Replication Monitor Child Site Details Empty

We have a Secondary site for which no data will show up under Monitoring/Database Replication/Replication Status/Child Site. It just states "No items found." as seen in the attached pic. All other secondary sites show various configuration parameters,
etc. on the Child Site tab. What is blocking CM 12 from getting this information for this particular child site? Any ideas? Something firewall or access related maybe?

was there any solution to this? I am having the same issue with the same version of Config Manager.
